A Jungle Safari.... Poem by M. Asim Nehal

A Jungle Safari....

Rating: 4.5


After a long wait, although it was four months only
When the jungle opened after monsoon season
The very first visit was amusing
The grass was lush green
The trees were blustering oxygen
Many lungs were enjoying purity
The nature was playing the flute
And birds were in melodious mood
How could the lady luck remain aloof?
The sudden sighting of the three tiger cubs
Stopped the passing by gypsies
That stood making beelines
To watch the cute cubs playing all alone
They were behind the bush
Hence, not all could see and guess
We were guessing the numbers
And then came the call of the mother
And the smarter and strongest one
Got up and started to hop in joyous mood
Then two others followed him
Finally, all could see they were three
At the single command of the mother
All three jumped, rushed and gathered
A joyful sight reminded me my last visit
Just before the closure of the national park
I was fortunate enough to sight the King
Now on three consecutive occasions
Yet another memorable Jungle safari.

Thanks much, I am a regular visitor since 1989 and it gives me immense satisfaction when I see the wild animals in their natural habitat. The joy of watching them roaming free and doing things as they ever wish to. We have around 6 national parks not very far from my place and it is known to be Tiger capital of India.

The playing of cute cubs in the national park has been amusingly depicted. To have a visit to national park after monsoon season is amusing. The inscription of the poem is too interesting. Brilliant poem. Thanks for sharing.

A forest always presents a medley of beautiful scenes and experiences! The ground shaded with the thick foliage of trees serves as a cool shelter and the air will be pure and pristine, reverbant with the melodious song of birds! If luck favours, as in your case, one can spot tigers and elephants at close quarters. Such sights might cause terror in us, but seeing tiger cubs playing amid bushes is a curious sight! Beautiful description.....!

Fantastic presentation yet you need to work on rhyming part of the poem, Yes you chose free verses but what I feel is if you learn the rhyming scheme your poems will look like real poems.
